I'm rather ashamed to say our BALPA representatives seem to use the exact same comparator airlines as BA management do. So Norwegian, Easy and Ryanair. I never hear BALPA seek to compare our package to legacy carriers in Europe, Middle/Far East, or the US!
Employer and union sing from a single song sheet!
Whilst there may not (yet) be an exodus from BA, far more people are moving elsewhere than I ever remember! The industry, or perhaps more accurately 'working for a living', appears to be in a downwards spiral!
The gap between workers and bosses can rarely have been greater in the modern age?
Perhaps we should console ourselves with the knowledge that we do at least remain as one of a group of more highly paid 'technical' workers? In reality we are just blue collar workers. Although there are white collar expectations of us?
